Sporting campaign suits blind golfers to a tee
FORE! One of Sheffield's most exclusive golf courses hosted a charity day to raise awareness of a new initiative that enables blind people to get in a round.
Dore and Totley Golf Club hosted the launch of the attempt by Sheffield Royal Society for the Blind to drum up support to offer blind and visually-impaired golfers a club of their own.
The day was organised by SRSB fund-raising manager Sue Coggin and Caroline Morris, who is on secondment to SRSB from John Lewis as part of their Golden Jubilee Scheme.
Sue said: "It was a great opportunity to let people know what the club is all about. Around 20 of our clients would love to play golf on a regular basis.
"But to do that we need people to help. Someone, perhaps, who can help visually impaired golfers get around the course and help them with their game."
For details on the golf club, contact Sue on 0114 244 6164.
